LINUX Masters to help

GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge

it means that they changes something in the gnome. do compiz --replace to go back to using compiz-fusion.

you MIGHT want to fire up synaptic (package manager) and see about installing XGL, that does help for a speed increase.

just start up synaptic

(open a terminal and sudo synaptic ) it will ask for your password.then choose the search button, and search for xgl. dont get the DEV files, you wont need them. once installed, reboot (OR control + Alt + Backspace) that resets the x.org server, and it should use xgl also, and the effects should fly then

S--t man . I lost my both top and bottom panel. How Can I restore that ? Please some body help. I am unable to launch anything. My desk looks like this

might i suggest using only 1 panel, that way you have just a bit more screen real estate?

Or you could try this, by alt-f2 again, nautilus...view hidden files...

.gconf/apps/panel/profiles/default/toplevels/bottom_panel/%gconf.xml, and I found that the monitor value was set to "-1" and the screen value wasn't set at all. I set them both to "0". Still no visible panel. Then I also set orientation to "top", and now had a visible panel on the LCD. So then I went into .gconf/apps/panel/profiles/default/toplevels/bottom_panel_screen1 and set monitor and screen to "1" and again orientation to "top".

that should give you a panel.

yankie, dont use AWN then, use wbar. it is in the ubuntu forums somewhere, and if you cant find it, then i will post it here for you.

the config requires a bit of text editing, but it works just like AWN, more or less, and it does not require compositing.

I'm not sure why you guys were trying to set the WM as Metacity in the first place.

By default, 8.04 uses Metacity with Compiz-Fusion, and you have full effects that you would have with Emerald.

If you want to use emerald, instead of metacity, the easiest thing to do is what I outlined here:

hey adrynalyne,Is there a way to force the effects to work on an unsupported card? I'm trying to get an old machine to run it, but no go. I can't even get AWN working after it installs. It starts AWN but just flashes where it supposed to show and goes away, but it remains running in the background.

I had a visit to ubuntu forums where I found this question who thanked me to restore his Gnome Panel ( ). His another problem is following
ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/disk/by=vvid/string... file or directory
Please type /sbin/mount/.ntfs --help for details.
Do anyone know about this? I think this may due to his hard disk format ! Instead of ext3 that fellow may used ntfs for linux installation?

An answer can be posted here or there. That guy is really under pressure. I want newbies to stick with linux and so this post is here
